Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds (1133.98g) potatoes (Yukon or Russet)
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter (divided)
  • cup (80g) heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5g) nutmeg
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • cup (33.33g) Parmesan
  • 4 large egg yolks

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes, removing any spoiled or spots, such as bruising and discoloration.   
  • Cut into big even-sized chunks. Place potatoes in water as you peel to prevent discoloration.
  • Wash the potatoes and rinse until water runs clear. Place the potatoes in a large pot with about 1 -2 teaspoons of salt and enough water to cover the potatoes.   
  • Bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender. 
  • Drain potatoes after cooking, reheat the drained potatoes on low heat to remove moisture from the potatoes, about a minute or less.   
  • Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Then, add butter, heavy cream, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt to taste.    
  • Mash potatoes with the desired tool until all the ingredients have been fully incorporated. Add eggs and continue mashing until combined.   
  • Do not over pound your potatoes, you do not them to be gluey.   
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or slip mart. Set aside.
  • Transfer mashed potatoes to a pastry bag attached with a large star tip, then pipe directly on the prepared cookie sheet in a circular/upward spiral motion about 2 inches tall, with enough room around each mount of potatoes so they don’t stick together when baking.    
  • Repeat until all the mashed potatoes have been used up. 
  • Brush with butter and bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown    
  • Remove and serve immediately.
